Puerto Rican’s Classic Heavy Metal Heads “UNZANE” are proud to announce the release of their new video “Brave Heart Warriors“ Taken from their latest album “Test of Time” produced by Unzane and mixed and mastered by Riccardo Daga at Titans Lab Recording Studioreleased via Too Loud Records / Code 7 Distribution.
This new album “Test of time” captures our idea of melodic groove heavy metal music. The 10 songs portraits the evolution of the band which is displayed throughout the entire record. This is what we can truly define in our 5th album which has very strong melodic vocals, power groove riffs and catchy choruses. Our songs are like most well-known stories they evolve over time. We know sound is the universal language & our music sets the mood for the story.
Dayal Patterson neumorno izdaje knjige sa svojom Cult Never Dies izdavačkom kućom, pa me uz jednu od narudžbi oduševio ovaj svojevrstan fanzin kojeg sam dobio na poklon. Riječ je o vrsti prequela Cult Never Dies serijalu o black metalu, koji je već doživio tri knjige u svom opusu. Ovih 64 stranica je kao prvo prekrasno dizajnirano i uređeno i vidi se da je Dayal odrastao na fanzinaškoj sceni i radio fanzine prije nego je počeo pisati kao freelancer za veće časopise. Knjiga sadrži out takese iz Evolution Of A Cult knjige, odnosno proširene verzije nekih interviewa čiji fragmenti su objavljeni u spomenutoj knjizi i neke interviewe koji nisu, a trebali su biti tamo objavljeni. Tu su i odlični kontroverzni interviewi sa Taake, odnosno Hoestom, u kojima se ni Dayal ni Hoest ne libe dotaknuti škakljivijih tema, kao i odličan interview sa Mikom iz Clandestine Blaze, odnosno Northern Heritage koji je meni uz Taake bio najzanimljiviji za čitanje. Tu su i uvijek interestantni Impaled Nazarene, Skitliv, odnosno Maniacov život nakon Mayhema hehe, pa onda Jorn iz Hades Almighty, Frost iz Satyricon/1349, Enthroned….plus fenomenalne fotografije i preodličan artwork. Ovo se stvarno isplati pročitati i imati u kolekciji.
Time for one band from my country´s home scene, namely Old Night from Rijeka, Croatia. This is their third full length opus and although this band is not so long in the scene, members have played or are still playing in some of the Rijeka´s finest bands like Ashes You Leave, Castrum or Gorthaur´s Wrath. What do we have here? Instrumental intro plus seven songs of emotional, melodic doom metal. When I listen to the guitars I can´t avoid that the sound of guitars in songs like Sacred South remind me of Crowbar and vocals, mainly clean, remind me of Anathema in a way, but the music is much harder than Anathema, being melodic but at times harsh. Vocal lines and guitar melodies are fantastic with couple of death doom growls here and there thrown in for good measure. Lyrics deal with fantasy but if you read between the lines, feels and emotions can be transcribed to every day life. Songs like No Solace and Daughter of Summer Dawning are personal favorites besides above mentioned Sacred South, but album as a whole is excellent. Go check this one out and support your scene.
